It's How You Live

I don't know about you, but I love music (country, southern gospel, jazz, big band, and, thanks to raising teenagers, some rock and contemporary music). This morning on the way to school Lyle had the radio on KLOVE, and we heard this song by Point of Grace. I loved it!! Take a minute to read through the lyrics. It's really not about who you know or what you do, it's about how you live!!

Wake up to the sunlightWith your windows openDon't hold in your angeror leave things unspokenWear your red dressUse your good dishesMake a big messand make lots of wishesHave what you wantBut want what you haveAnd don't spend your life lookin' back

Chorus:Turn up the musicTurn it up loudTake a few chancesLet it all outYou won't regret itLookin' back from where you have beenCuz it's not who you knewAnd it's not what you didIt's how you live

So go to the ballgamesAnd go to the balletAnd go see your folks morethan just on the holidaysKiss all your childrenDance with your wifeTell your husband you love himevery nightDon't run from the truth'Cause you can't get awayJust face it and you'll be okay

[Chorus]

Oh wherever you areand wherever you've beenNow is the time to beginSo give to the needyAnd pray for the grievingE'en when you don't think that you can'Cause all that you do isbound to come back to youSo think of your fellow manMake peace with Godand make peace with yourself'Cause in the end there's nobody else

[Chorus]

'Cause it's not who you knewAnd it's not what you didIt's how you live
